Last November, agents and prosecutors showed Kessinger photos of Bunting in the hat and T shirt. According to the brief, Kessinger has concluded that he was thinking of Bunting when he described the man with McVeigh. Kessinger is "now unsure" whether he saw a second person; Elliott and Beemer "continue to believe that two men came in to rent the truck on April 17." The brief goes on to say both are certain Hertig was not "Kling" because they knew him and because he has a mustache, which Kling...
...weeks the FBI hunted John Doe No. 2. Then, in May, they interviewed Todd Bunting, an Army private whose name appeared on the agency's records of people who rented trucks in April. On April 18 Bunting went to Elliott's along with Army Sergeant Michael Hertig. When FBI agents located Bunting in Fort Riley, Kansas, they found he fit the description of John Doe No. 2. According to the brief, when he rented the truck he was wearing a Carolina Panthers hat with a blue-and-white pattern, and he even has a tattoo on his left...
...disputes that the Ryder truck rented by Robert Kling carried the explosives that destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building (an axle with a vehicle identification number was found at the site). But was Timothy McVeigh in fact Robert Kling? Jones has argued that the testimony of Elliott and Kessinger is unreliable, since they have been so inconsistent on the question of John Doe No. 2. The government insists that conflating Bunting's visit with McVeigh's was a harmless, understandable mistake and that the identification of McVeigh remains airtight...
...Elliott and Kessinger first spoke to the FBI on April 19, when McVeigh was still completely unknown. A composite sketch based on their description of "Kling" was shown to motel owners around Junction City. On April 20, Lea McGown, proprietor of the Dreamland Motel, recognized the man as a guest named Timothy McVeigh. The agents searched a database and discovered that someone of that name was arrested on April 19 for speeding 90 miles north of Oklahoma City; he looked almost exactly like the composite sketch. So, the government argues, Elliott and Kessinger described McVeigh before anyone knew...
...elements of the Oklahoma City trial are coming into focus. As the bloody glove, the sock and O.J. Simpson's Rockingham estate finally pass from the scene, the American public will soon become immersed in fresh minutiae: Elliott's Body Shop, ammonium nitrate, the Panthers cap. In this case, as in O.J.'s, the defendant won't be the only one on trial. Citizens will be watching to see how well the government presents its case and how well the legal system serves justice...
